I tried the data structure and the editor (RDi) showed it as an error. I did
not try to compile as it was. I'll try that.

You should be able to code the data structure in the result field of the
PARM statement.
That was an old RPG trick, to get a "character field" with a length up to
9999 (whoo hoo, 9999!) by defining it as a data structure.
